<div style="font-size:small">I use Techron about every 2000 miles in each car and notice they will run a bit smoother afterwards. I also use StaBil in the 20 gallons of gas I keep for my generator and in the generator itself. It has
never failed to start on a few pulls when the power goes out and when I start it periodically to just "exercise" it. Of course, I exchange all the "StaBil'd" gas yearly after they switch over to winter blend gas. In the motorcycle (NC700X), I only use gasoline,
and I start and run it at least weekly even during the winter. Have yet to experience any problems.</div>

Techron</a>. It will dissolve and clean the crap out of a carb quickly while Sea Foam

<b>WD</b>-40 is a <b>W</b>ater <b>D</b>ispersant NOT a lubricant. Again, a great job by their marketing department! For a real light weight penetrating lubricant get

CRC PowerLube</a>. It's industrial quality and available at most AutoZone or O'Reilly stores. It gets into tight spaces, frees up crud, and lubricates the parts. It's also safe for rubber parts although for that I generally use a silicon spray. They also make
another version with a PTFE additive that I've tried but not found any particular advantage for motorcycle applications. </div>
